I guess this is the origin of..."Got the short end of the stick"

In Ancient Rome, where shared public toilets were all the rage they preferred to use a tersorium, a communal sponge on a stick, which was stored in strong sea brine or vinegar when not in use.

Lol... I cannot imagine this at all.

Things were equally as strange in Ancient Greece where there was also a sponge on a stick called a xylospongium, but the preferred method was pieces of ceramic called pessoi. These were used in a left to right scraping motion and historians have estimated that your average wipe would use three pieces.

Yep that's because 3 wipes was the amount pain they could stand with all that ceramic scraping their tender tushes.

In 1935, Northern Issue started advertising the “splinter-free” toilet paper on the market.

Well that's a friggin' relief... no more splinters! Just imagine the soreness after days on horseback, only to get splinters from TP.

They don't save any money by the time people double it several times.
However still better than slick sears catalog pages in the old outhouses.
